Surplus Furniture Sale
The Surplus Furniture Sale is moving online!
The Surplus Furniture Sale is an opportunity for the public and City staff to purchase furniture from The City of Calgary that is no longer usable at City sites, but that has been deemed suitable for other purposes.
The sale is open to the public and City staff through the online portal.
How furniture is reused within The City of Calgary
Many pieces of furniture have multiple lives and purposes at City sites after being reused, repaired and upcycled. The City of Calgary strives to reuse as much furniture as possible within The Corporation before putting it up for public sale.
Once furniture is no longer required at a City site, it is sent to the Corporate Warehouse. At the warehouse, furniture is assessed and sorted into one of three categories:
- reusable within City sites
- no longer useful within City sites
- not fit for use.
Reusable City standard furniture is stocked for future reuse within City sites. Furniture that is not reusable but deemed suitable for another purpose is put into the Surplus Furniture Sale.
